moa johansson works primarily in textile and performance. they consider the body as a material to be stitched, knotted, pinned, folded and rearranged. their work explores, in subtle and often humorous ways, a ‘textile queering’, through the subversion and reappropriation of fabrics, fixings and garments. there is a deep ethical and ecological sensibility to johansson’s work; by repurposing, recycling and reconfiguring materials found at hand or used previously, they address the politics of consumption, explore new materialsim and see limitations as possibilities.
